“As always, Andrew Clements doesn't fail to entertain. In Trouble-Maker, a teen with a reputation struggles with home promises and a false accusastion. This book was great and I was overall satisfied.”

“Clever premise, rushed ending. We've seen all kinds of different gifted children in Andrew Clements' books, and it was cool to have a protagonist gifted in art this time around. Clements really does have a book for everyone. Clay is a typically loveable, mischievous, creative protagonist, and the book felt like a return to Clements' golden days of The Landry News, The School Story, and Frindle. Unfortunately, the resolution is thin. No mention is made of Mitch's coercive tendencies toward his younger brother, the main point of this book, much less any kind of solution. I love those early Clement books for delivering important messages lightheartedly, and I felt like this was such a missed opportunity. I am still waiting for another hit story. I know he has it in him.”

“Another short and sweet story by Andrew Clements about a boy who enjoys driving his principal up a wall. This character reminds me of a few boys I've had a school.”

“A little heavier in some ways than Clements' usual fare, but still very good. For slightly older readers, IMHO. Not because of the writing, but the subject matter.”

“Clay is a troublemaker and a frequent visitor to the principal's office. His file is so thick with incident reports that the school secretary calls it her masterpiece. However, when Clay's brother Mitch is released from jail after serving a month for contempt of court, Mitch sets out to change Clay's ways. While it's not easy giving up throwing food at lunch, Halloween and hanging with his troublemaker friends Clay learns to trust his brother's words of wisdom.
